Whole Wheat Round Bread - Something Different

Try this amazing way of baking a bread in a round cake tin for a change. It is a healthy version of whole wheat flour bread with some flaxseeds thrown in. I added cardamom powder and rose water to enhance the flavour. Relish this simple home baked bread with butter or jam or anyway you like it. So check for a step by step method with pictures to prepare it.

1 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tbsp. flaxseeds

1 tsp. active yeast

1/3 cup lukewarm water

1 tsp. sugar

1 tsp. vinegar

1 tbsp. oil

1/4 tsp. cardamom powder

1 tsp. rose water

melted butter to grease the pan

1 tsp. powdered sugar to garnish (opt)

1 tsp. jam to garnish (opt)

In a bowl, mix together 1/3 cup lukewarm water, yeast, sugar and vinegar. Mix well and cover. Keep aside for 10-15 minutes. By then it will froth up. In a separate bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, salt, flaxseeds, oil and rose water, followed by the cardamom powder. Add the yeast water and knead into a soft dough. Cover and keep aside in a warm place for 2 hours. By now it will swell up. Punch the dough back by dusting some flour and transfer to a greased and flour dusted cake tin. Cover and keep aside again in a warm place to rise for another 2 hours. Bake in a preheated microwave oven at 180 degrees C for 25-30 minutes. Let it cool down a bit and then scrape away the sides. Flip it over carefully and set aside to cool further on a wire rack. Garnish with jam and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Cut into slices and relish with a jam or butter spread or anyway you like it.

About Me

Hi, I am Bethica Das, a homemaker now, after having worked in a Bank for a decade and a half. At present, am based in the U.A.E with my husband, a senior lecturer. My two sons are busy in their respective careers in India.

To keep myself occupied, I first started posting recipes on various web sites. This encouraged me to put together all my collection of recipes. Hence, published 3 simple cookery books online that needs to be reviewed.

Now I have ventured into the world of blogging as I want to document all my recipes and also to share them. My inspiration is derived from the string of ideas doled out by my family from time to time and also from the support that I get from all the viewers.

I love trying out new recipes that are unique in taste and flavour. I also love experimenting and giving a new touch to the original recipe, thus making a fusion out of it. I try to keep my dishes as simple as possible that takes less time to prepare.

I believe in the phrase that you eat with your eyes first. So I lay a lot of stress in the presentation and styling of the food. Would love to receive your feedback of my recipes in my culinary journey.
